Kurukuruhime

The art was nice, I will give it that. It's an aesthetically pleasing manga. That said, there's ten couples (plus a bonus section that goes back to the first couple), and each one gets a handful of pages that do really nothing to develop anything. Each page has an anecdote; they're almost like a series of short Tumblr posts, in terms of storytelling. Also, two of the couples were rather disturbing to me. One was the yandere trope, with one half of the couple saving the other girl's HAIR and fantasizing about keeping her home and all to herself by breaking her legs and cutting her fingers. Yikes. The other is a teacher/student relationship with a big age gap--the student is 16--and no matter what the actual age of consent is in Japan, that's a power imbalance that squicks me.
But...pretty art.… (más)
